Hi Perumal,
I'm confused when you say that it's already working in shell but not
in emulator. Working in shell meaning you insmod the hello.ko to your
host? If so, then the module was not properly built. If module is
properly built against the goldfish kernel, output module would be for
ARM architecture therefore you cant insmod it to your host (assuming
your host is x86). Only in emulator since emulator is an emulated ARM
architecture.
